FOLLOW-UP (11:30 A.M.) This is a follow-up to the note sent earlier about the threat on social media. We learned from the police that the student who made the threat on social media has been arrested and charged with "Making a Terroristic Threat" (Class D Felony).
The earlier note indicated the threat was on Snapchat. According to the police, it was posted on TikTok.
------------------------------------
It was brought to our attention this morning that there was a threat made on Snapchat last night or early this morning. The police were notified and investigated. They located the student who made the post. Police deemed it a non-credible threat meaning there was no intent to follow through or cause harm. The police investigation is ongoing. Charges may be filed, if appropriate.
